Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL) reported earnings Wednesday of $0.60 which missed the street estimate by 1 cent alongside revenues of $263.1M which also missed expectations. Sales increased 2.3 percent YoY to $263.1M. The hardwood producer has been under pressure lately after reports surfaced that Global Community Monitor and Sunshine Park LLC filed lawsuits accusing Lumber Liquidators of breaching the regulations laid forth in Proposition 65 in California.
President and CEO Robert Lynch was quoted in the company press release saying:
"Despite the challenges we faced in the second quarter and results that were not at the level we would have hoped, our value proposition is as strong and relevant as ever to our customers".
The company has seen it's cash levels collapse also, reporting $48.1M for Q2 2014 compared with $84.7M for the same period last year.
